Samsung’s Honeycomb-based Galaxy Tab 10.1 premieres at the Best Buy store in New York today.

The Wi-Fi Galaxy Tab 10.1 can be yours for $499(16GB) or $599(32GB) but only today in the Best Buy’s Union Street store in New York. The regular availability will launch nationwide on 17 June.

In other news Vodafone UK is discontinuing its exclusive Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v. In case you need a refresh, the 10.1v was initially announced as 10.1 but later Samsung announced a new slimmer 10.1 tablet and renamed the previous as 10.1v. The 10.1v became Vodafone exclusive and it seems those units will be soon out of stock.

The new 10.1 is slimmer, has a 3 megapixel snapper instead of 8 megapixel, records up to 720p videos instead of 1080p and, of course, costs less. It’s already in our office for a preview. Here are a few pictures to enjoy:
